IMPROVEMENT m LAMP-GHIMNEYS.

, The Schedule referred.v to in these Letters Patent and making part ofthe same.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EBnN SIMPSON CHASE, of Eau Claire, in the county ofEau Claire, and in the State of \Visconsin, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Lamp-Chimneys; and do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, "and exact description thereof, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of referencemarked thereon.

The nature of this invention consists of asectional lamp-chimney, havinga circumferential shonlderat the top and bottom, upon which are placedflexible bands, and in providing the upper and lower sections withalternate?projections and recesses, so as to more efficiently secure theparts in position.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my inventionappertains, to makeand use the same,

i I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation,reierring to the annexed drawings, which form a part of thisspecification, and in which- Figure 1. is a side view of a chimney outlongitudinally, with the'top band removed;

Figure 2 is a view of the lower end; and Figure 3, a viewof the upperband. 7 A represents a lamp-chimney made in any of the known and usualways, of glass or other suitable material, and of any size desired. Thischimney is split or cut longitudinally in one or. more places, saidsplits or cuts extending the whole length of the chimney.

The ends of thechimney are surrounded by flexible bands, B B, which holdthe chimney together.

The sections A are cut out on the exterior oftheir tops and bottom, thusforming a circumferential shoulder wh-ere the bands are put on, so as tocause the outer surface of the bands to be-fiush with the outer- 7surface of the chimney.

1 The sections at the top and bottom are formed with semicircularmother-shaped projections (as seen at a: in fig. 1) on one side, andwith corresponding recesses, a, on the other, so that when the parts areput together, the projections fit into the recesses, andpreventthe partsfrom being-moved upward or downward i from each other.

I am aware that a sectional chimney is not new, hence I do not broadlyclaim such to be my invention.

Having thus fully described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- I Theherein-described sectional chimney, composed of two or more sections AA, formed with circumferential shoulders. at the top and bottom, andwith projections and recesses, and held together by the flexible bands BB, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand,this 1st day of January, 1869.
